Possibly Rodolfo; but I didn't see it that way.

I apologize, then.

BTW, I let read those two phrases to 2 friends of mine, women. They had a lot of fun and they asked me: "Are you saying to be not complicated too?" And all of us laugh a lot about it...

BTW (again..) Some years ago, when playing a game, a friend of mine (man) said me: "I play chess because it's the search for God." His sense of humour was clear and I think it's not an offense to religion. Maybe not really the search for God, but I think a "search for truth" is a good definition. At least, for most players.

Well it's good to learn that you aren't sexist Rodolfo and don't take things too seriously. The world needs more people like you.

Thanks.

Experience should teach everybody that any discrimination, any fascism, any racism or any other way to build differences are offences to nature.

So in conclusion Kasparov is wrong in his new book, black is not lost after 45.Ra6 and therefore Deep Blue 2.0 almost allowed Kasparov to draw with the awful 45.Ra6.

Agreed. Almost all strong branches including their leaf were analyzed to death. No
win for white after Ra6. SF8 + powerful hardware by posters on this thread
was thrown at this position and nothing comes up. Besides it was proven in
previous pages that SF8 was stronger than DB2, if even SF8 can't find
a win, how much more for the weaker Deep Blue II?

sorry, I forgot the engine of Lyudmil got +5.00 score against Leoni and +10.00 against Ignacio but those games were a clear draw, and even Lyudmil didn't apologize. Very long analysis gives wrong score, how much more garbage do we get for those 1 minute shootout?

the only garbage are your tongue-in-cheek comments.

1 minute games are statistically significant, do you understand that, when a larger number is played?

what draw are you talking man, what draw?
take only my Qg4+ line;

after Qg4, hg4 wins for white in all lines
if Kf7 instead, Rc7 Rc7 dc7 wins for white
black probably holds only after Qg4 hg4 Ke6 Rd7 Kd7, by a thread and a miracle, but, take only even that very simple pawn endgame, take the different possible lines, and only 1 out of 5 or 6 draws for black, the other are all lost.

is that what you call an easy draw?
really?

for me, this position assessment is big white winning chances, or +-

take even Rodolfo line, Kd6 loses
Rd6 instead continues the game, but, again,
white wins 4/5 of all available lines there too.

is that what you call a drawn game?
really?

so that, when white wins in 90% of all cases, you can not possibly speak of an easy draw.

you might be certain Kasparov would have lost that game one way or another, as he even does not see the very engine-like Re8 reply early into the line.

so, your claim would be Kasparov, who analysed this position very thouroughly for his recent book, and played the game too, has an inferior assessment to Nunn, who did not play the game, analysed it some 10 years ago with much inferior software, and is a much weaker player than Kasparov?

really?

That's why I don't reply to most of your posts because
those were nonsense.

after Qg4, hg4 wins for white in all lines

Maybe you need to check at page 6 where Ignacio Santos played out your beloved Qg4+ line which just ends up in draw, you even claimed it was a +10.00 for white, when the draw was clarified by Ignacio, and your +10.00 just made out of thin air with no proof whatsoever.

black probably holds only after Qg4 hg4 Ke6 Rd7 Kd7, by a thread and a miracle, but, take only even that very simple pawn endgame, take the different possible lines, and only 1 out of 5 or 6 draws for black, the other are all lost.

Sorry but did the rules of chess change recently? where a multi-pv is required for a proof of a win. If the draw is a single line compared to 6 other lines which loses, that doesn't mean the other side lost. Take the below position as a sample. In your definition of a chess win, White is lost and black wins because the pv shows a single line only which draws. The draw is a single thread of a miracle while all the other line wins for black, so it is clearly winning for black? What kind of rubbish is this you are claiming?

This position is a black win according to Lyudmil's chess knowledge because only by a thread can white hold a draw, and all other remaining lines would win for black. This is why i didn't reply on this nonsense post of yours at page 6, now we are at page 14.

so, your claim would be Kasparov, who analysed this position very thouroughly for his recent book, and played the game too, has an inferior assessment to Nunn

I didn't claim this, all I know for sure is that the people posting on this forum have more modern, more powerful hardware than Kasparov or his publisher or publishers clerks. If Kasparov can confirm he has more than 7 people with powerful hardware who analyzed this position thoroughly then I might change my opinion.

regards

you are funny.

Kasparov is a millionaire, of course he has access to all the most powerful hardware in the world there is.

forum members here have just some random 16 cores, couple of 32 or 64 core machines.
so, nothing special.

the line you post is quite simple and meaningless.

I was referring to winning chances, which are exhibited of course only by multi-pv choices at different plies.

that is the stabdard definition for winning chances, and white has over 90% winning chances on the main diagram after Ra6.

we still have an awful lot of moves missed/not analysed, everyone, engines and top humans skip some moves at different plies, too many moves to consider otherwise, among those pruned there might be some sensible moves that actually change the theoretical game outcome, but that we all have skipped/pruned, we are and our engines are simply too weak to know that.

btw., any hardware does not help a lot in an ocean of lines, 4 or 64 cores pale down before the 2^16 or so moves we have even in the average middlegame position to a modest depth, and in such a case I prefer to stick to refined eval which considerably favours white.

Very long analysis gives wrong score, how much more garbage do we get for those 1 minute shootout?

1 minute games are statistically significant, do you understand that, when a larger number is played?

You really did understand nothing and even perverted it to the worst.

You mix up statistical significance for producing engine ratings with analysing positions?? (and not the first time)
That is the biggest joke ever made here. A position can only have 3 results and no shootout
even at 1 hour games will slightly resemble an analysis.
It seems you simply don't know what an analysis is and how it can be acchieved.

This makes all threads about analysis with your participation an unpleasant tragicomedy.

EOF forever...

as we don't have the option to conduct a full perfect analysis(100 billion positions or so at least have to be investigated for that), we are doing what we can, assess chances by approximation, which might not be perfect, but still mostly works.

all chess engines do that while testing.

which language, C or C++ used eof() instead of EOF?

[Lyudmil Tsvetkov]

take even Rodolfo line, Kd6 loses
Rd6 instead continues the game, but, again,
white wins 4/5 of all available lines there too.

is that what you call a drawn game?
really?

Here, only first line is true. It's not nice to see own words perverted in order to be right. Better if you use your own arguments. A war just ended and I'm not willing to start another for some silly reasons.

what do you want me to do now: not to mention your name?

after I buy it, definitely, but still have not done so.

maybe someone knows more.
